Apple has unveiled its boldest domestic investment yet: a $600 billion commitment to U.S. manufacturing over the next four years. This initiative includes a fresh $100 billion boost and launches the American Manufacturing Program (AMP), signaling a major expansion of Apple’s supply chain and production footprint across the country.
Under the AMP, Apple is teaming up with several U.S.-based partners—ranging from Corning and Coherent to Texas Instruments, GlobalFoundries, Samsung, Broadcom, and Applied Materials. A highlight of the program is the creation of the world’s largest smartphone glass manufacturing line in Kentucky, ensuring every iPhone and Apple Watch globally will feature domestically produced cover glass. Other components—such as lasers for Face ID, rare earth magnets, silicon chips, and server infrastructure—are shifting stateside in collaboration with various partners, including a server facility in Houston and data center expansions in North Carolina.
The job impact is significant: more than 20,000 new positions will be created, focused on R&D, software, AI, and silicon engineering—building on support for over 450,000 existing supplier roles nationwide.
Beyond economics, this move positions Apple as a key player in reshoring technology manufacturing, aligning with national goals to reduce reliance on overseas supply chains. Still, complete assembly of iPhones and related devices remains abroad due to ongoing cost constraints and logistical considerations.
